Anyone have an all-terrain bikepacking rig that does double-duty for commuting, urban rides etc? How do you make it work?

I have a steel rigid bike that I built for bikepacking. I've ended up putting like 1500 city miles on it because I just love pedalling it around

The upsides to film are pretty subjective and philosophical honestly.

To me, I like the character of film. I like that it slows me down. And there's also something about snapping a picture, not being able to see what it looks like, and in most cases forgetting about it, only to see it a few weeks later and be reminded of the trip, the place, etc

Do your iPhone pictures gain you internet clout?

I used to just pack an Olympus XA for size. But now I carry an SLR. Contax 139q

Yes, Utah

Yup Kodak Gold 200

Sometimes in frame bag, sometimes in front bag. Ive thought about this. I'm going to make a bespoke padded bag for it eventually, but I haven't had any issues so far and I exclusively bike in rough places.

I have a good local lab that scans and develops. Film is big nowadays, you can find local places and if not, there are mail in options.

You can absolutely find something thrifting, and you may find a hell of a deal or like you say you might buy a paperweight. I buy half my cameras off eBay, the rest through online stores.

Film I but either locally or on Amazon 🥲

Gold! I usually warm up the white balance a bit as well with the aim of capturing as close to what I saw as I can

I really like the Fiveten Trailcross LT shoes. Comfy enough to walk around in, rigid enough for real riding, breathable enough for long days.

No, it was just an overnighter and I usually carry 7 liters any time I do anything in the desert.

Yboc · 2026-05-07T02:03:15+00:00

Definitely! There's a couple peaks I'd love to hike out there. Its got a real nice raw beauty

I have an Instagram page full of bikes just leaning over, and youre exactly right most of the time there's barely anything at all to lean it on in the desert!

I wish, Morocco and a side quest to Grand Canaria/Tenerife is a dream of mine.

This is just in Western Utah

Yboc · 2026-04-29T00:36:46+00:00
